NW PA | Was she raised from birth with the chickens? Or in a house? I suppose, since you have her, you could give her a try. But make sure the introduction to the goats is slow and watch her carefully. She may be prone to chasing them or even trying to kill them...so I would put her with the goats where you can watch carefully for a few weeks. If she chases them too much, there are things you can do (like using a dangle stick or chain drag for a few days) to teach her to walk amongst them / not run. If she does ok with them then you could try turning her out on the 80 acres but again I would check often until you get a feel for if she's a roamer prone to jumping fences, etc.
If the 80 acres is somewhat secluded the barking may not be too much of an issue. But if there are neighbors close they might get sick of her barking.
Good luck!
